Gallery version 1.5.8 was released on Tuesday. Gallery is a server program for creating online photo albums. It is written in PHP and therefore platform independent, easy to install, easy to use and offers many possibilities. For example, there is the Photo Management option that can, for example, automatically create thumbnails, rotate photos and adjust the size. In addition, it is possible to assign read and/or write rights to the albums. There are two separately developed versions of Gallery, namely 1.x and 2.x. A very extensive comparison between the two is possible this wiki are being found. Several security vulnerabilities have been fixed in this release. The release notes have the following to say about it:

Gallery 1.5.8 Released

This release fixes many security issues including some serious security issues. It also resolves as well as a handful of bugs and reorganizes the internal API some (which is documented here). We strongly recommend that all users of Gallery 1.5.7 and earlier upgrade to this release to protect your Gallery installation.

One security issue was reported to us in private by the Digital Security Research Group [GSecRG] who were professional and are waiting until after this release to publish their findings.

The most of the security issues resolved in this release are the result of a security audit performed by Gotham Digital Science (GDS). They are experts in application security, as this is the primary focus of their business. We recognize that hiring external consultants to perform security audits does not guarantee that our code is bug-free and by no means un-hackable, but it clearly indicates our willingness to perform due diligence to make sure our code is reasonably secure. The combination of an external perspective of security experts and the insight of internal experts both performing detailed audits is yielding much better results than only one of the two perspectives alone. While these security fixes are not in our public source code repository prior to the release, we will begin adding them to it as soon as possible once this story is posted.[break]The following downloads are available:
